I used to commute 11 miles to work on a bicycle. Got fed up with Scottish wind and rain, went to buy a scooter. Ended up with an MT125, rode that for a year, decided I was a ‘biker’, passed DAS at 34 yo, bought CBR650F, then 6 months later a Bandit 1250.

I still can't believe almost 5 years ago I was sitting down watching you on your orange Sinnis Apache thinking wow I want one, kept thinking it looks so fun to ride and I went and did my cbt, got my Sinnis Apache and progressed my riding abilities from there. Watching this just reminds me of when I was thinking about getting a bike and I can't believe where I'm at now in terms of riding ability, the motorcycle I own and how much I've progressed from when I started. I huge part of the reason I even started riding is because of you, glad I stumbled across your channel Spicy :)

It was spicy that got me into riding. Saw a video on the lxr and thought im having that. A month later i was riding. The best thing I've ever done

Got my cbt booked for 9th July, i cannot wait, im like an excited kid on Christmas eve (even though im 39)! Been a car driver and mountain biker for 20 years but always wanted to ride a motorcycle, having a wife and 5 kids has always stopped me. But im finally doing it 😁, ive already bought my gear and chosen a bike (a lexmoto Michigan) for my daily commute to work which is a 28 mile round trip, ive watched most of your playlist for beginner bikers and found it most helpful, i appreciate you taking the time for making this content available for us to watch and learn from.

Thanks for the video and the reference to a terrific biking community willing to help others.

Thanks for this clip. 17 years ago I was desperate to get a bike, had my heart set on GSXR600. Mags, posters, the works. Did my CBT but never bought the bike. Long story short I’m now 42 and four kids later been looking at 125’s to get me into it. Job done thanks mate 🤘

Great advice!

I turned 39 the day you released this video. I booked my cbt and theory a few weeks ago and can't wait to do them.

Completely agree. I started riding 5 years ago. Best decision I have ever made. Met loads of people, ridden in many countries and I’m so much happier for it.

I am 66 years old currently riding a Honda PCX but going to go through DAS very soon and looking to ride either a HondaNC750 or CB500X the CB is looking favourite. ZI have been bitten very deeply by the bug and love being out riding in sun, rain, sleet whatever. I find car driving now bores the hell out of me.

Hi Spicy! Great video. Your channel was one of the key channels that made me decide to become a biker. I used to find the biking community quite intimidating; and when you start to express an interest in bikes, its very daunting going into a bike shop not knowing anything about bikes at all. But I did it, got my CBT rode a lexmoto venom for about a year, did my direct access and got my 1st big bike a Triumph 955i Sprint RS. Then that got written off at a roundabout due to a car driving into me, I broke my shoulder and took a break from riding for about a year. Just got back on, and bought another sprint RS, and riding her back from portsmouth..I cried in my helmet all the way home with joy. I have had all sorts of fast cars and nothing, I say nothing compaires to a bike..Anyway I am starting out on my channel, drop me an email if you can send me any tips on developing it. I need more video eqipment, but hope to have a decent channel built soon!

some really useful and thought provoking stuff here Spicy.......a must for the potential rider and just do it. One point is that riding schools do not always do a pre start assessment of rider knowledge....I turned up for a CBT and had never been near a bike, whilst others on course had ridden for yonks.....frustrating to all and I could have given up there and then.....

Lovely the videos mate

Today, I went for a motorbike ride with 2 friends and we covered around 100 miles. Not only was I clear of mind afterwards, I had burned a load of calories and passed a huge amount of bikers, gave them a nod, got a nod back. It is the best for mental wellbeing and a hell of a workout. For anyone unsure, do the CBT. It gives you an idea what it is like and will give you a taste on what it is like.

Miss my bike also had a xj6 sold it as needed to pass my driving licence. Would love a world I could afford both.

I've got a car and a bike these days and for me that's the ideal garage because you're covered for every eventuality. Cars are fun to drive, and I've had stuff like a 2 litre, 6-speed MX5, but bikes are fun in a really different way that you cannot describe to someone who hasn't felt it

This has been a great video and you've hit the nail exactly on the head with me. I've been thinking of getting into motorbikes again after many years away from them, but there's something that's stopping me.. It's that final push of just going out there and just doing it, that's stopping me. I have a full licence and enough money to buy one but what stops me is the nagging doubts of safety and bad weather. There's only me in my household and often find owning a big car somewhat pointless. Watching videos like this though has just pushed me that little bit closer to bike ownership again (i blame you Spicy lol)

I hadn't ridden for 25 years or so. I passed my test in 1976 and rode through to the early '90's. In March last year I took the plunge and bought a Honda 650. I went on a back to biking course before I picked the bike up, and any lingering doubts I had were soon swept aside after spending a day riding around North Wales. I hadn't felt so alive in years. I was bouncing, literally, when the ride finished. Like you, I had nagging doubts about safety, but after being back on a bike for a little over a year now, it's not something that concerns me anymore because the pleasure and fun of being back on two wheels is so good.

Glad I could help!

I did my test last year at the age of 40. Had motorbike screen wallpapers for 10 years and finally decided to move my butt and do sth about it. Did my test, bought a bike ( Suzuki GSR 750), couldn't be happier. Except for the fact my country (Poland) is a bit too flat (fckng straight roads everywhere). It's never too late, just get of the couch get yourself a new hobby!

The only reason why I can't get a bike is because of where I live, my garden is like a 3 to 4-foot drop from the road/pavement so it's next to impossible to get a bike in and out of there, plus in my area bike theft is huge. But... Recently I've been looking at building a ramp to get in and out of my garden and it seems very possible with the right planning and measurements. Also been looking at getting a mini shed type of thing to store the bike with a secure lock in the garden. So I guess the moral of the story is, there is always a way to get a bike. Edit: I've been into bikes all my life but because of where I live I've had to reconsider getting a bike and instead getting a car (which would have cost a hell of a lot more and been well over my original budget) but with some encouragement from family and friends I've decided to stick with getting a bike even if that means making some adjustments and taking the "long route"

Still the best thing I ever did, learning to ride.

Im considering doing it. My current car is a money pit and its more cost effective to get a used sportbike. Also always wanted to row through those gears haha...Sportbike 2022/23 here i come

Spicy, I've been watching you on and off for the past 4 years, and only now your editing is actually great. (Please fix wind noise, if you can check out RJs setup). I really believe 100k subs is coming your way. Peace :)

Great vid, cannot disagree with any of the reasons to own a bike - MT03 here - wife has a car, so have the option for 4 wheels if needed, but not used the car since March...

I get the same feeling from cars and bikes 🙌 both are a little enjoyable distressing escape

I did my CBT last year and have my das booked for end of August ( test centres should be open by then) . One of the major issues I think about getting into biking is the lack of ability to be able to practice and just have fun on a bike. What I mean by this is I live in Essex and there is only one place I could find in the county where you can hire a 125 for a day to go out and have a ride around, there is also no kind of bike days where you can turn up without a bike hire one ( a 125) and just spend the days driving round a track or on round a paddock having fun and getting used to being on a bike. Doing your CBT is all well and good but you can pass and still not feel super confident and having somewhere where you can get your skill level and confidence up before you hit the road would be helpful to a lot of riders.

I totally agree with you. And the thing i find strange is, you can have a day's training (cbt) then you are cast off to go and get on with it on the public highway. Whereas after passing your DAS, there are various advance training courses you can do to improve your skills!!!! This makes no sense. I'd prefer further skills training and an opportunity after my CBT to become more competent and confident but like you, I live in Essex and now I'm trying to think of a quiet place I can take my 125 (when I purchase one) to practice and get familiar with the controls again (did my CBT a year ago & then began saving for a bike)

Test centres are supposedly opening up on the 13th but are most likely back logged

Cant beat riding a motorcycle, If you want cheap and cheerful jus back and for work, nothing else, get a 125. If you want back and for work, fun and day trips, ride outs with mates, 500cc and up

I have this thought: Cars are for getting you from a to b Nice cars show that you like to drive A bike shows you like being on the road

Love bikes, but commuting on them sucks big time, unless you work in the city centre where parking is a nightmare

If you don't already have a car license at the moemnt, you can't get any driving lessons unless you're a key worker. Most of the driving instructors are restricting that further to NHS only as well. However, most of the motorcycle riding training schools should now open. So a motorcycle might be your only option if you want some form of transport. Don't forget that if you do already have a full car license, and passed your driving test before feb 2001 you can ride 50cc on your license. For anyone who passed their driving test after feb 2001 if you do the CBT course, you'll be able to ride 125cc for a year, but also activate the 50cc part of your full car license. Allowing you to ride 50cc forever, with no L plates. www.gov.uk/motorcycle-cbt/car-driving-licence

I wish it were that easy to get riding here... here you need riding lessons followed by theoretical and practical exams, which are expensive, even for 49cc scooters. Even for a 125cc you need a A2 license at minimum. I think more people would leave their car to ride (and reduce congestion) if 125cc were allowed to be ridden with a car license and maybe a one day training course or something.

In my first year of riding, fresh out of my CBT. old man bought me my first YBR125 and its definitely a new experience, coming from somebody who always said they would never ride. the hardest part is that its easy to get lost in the modicum of information that's out there, especially when it comes to maintenance, while does stress you out initially, gives a good satisfaction upon fixing the issue In concerns to everyone riding bikes? I totally agree, but i also believe that people not riding bikes (car drivers in general) SHOULD take a CBT at the very least to understand and maintain the mentality of a biker's perception, in the sense that they wouldn't be a dick on the road to bikers if they understood what they were doing (primarily because the amount of people that get arsey over filtering is unreal), but could possibly reduce road accidents when everyone knows the same rules.

I got my cbt last month because my mrs kicked me out and I needed it to get to work (we’re back togather now happy endings an all) but I will says it’s one of the best things Iv ever done Iv only got a 50cc moped a speed fight 1 1997 it’s 2 years younger than me! But if you are thinking of getting one make sure you get the right gear. I fell off yesterday at a roundabout in rainy Manchester I had to hit the brakes pretty hard but lost grip and came off, the one day I didn’t have my gloves. Luckily I only have a small blood blister and a sore thumb hands wise but I have a concussion from hitting my head my hip is bruised and my whole body just aches and believe it or not I was only going 15-20 mph. Don’t scrimp out on gear don’t wear a t shirt and shorts if it’s warm even on a 50 cc, I would be a lot worse off if I didn’t have some decent clothing on. I would still recommend getting a bike if your smart enough to look after your self and others on the road it’s great just stay safe people :)

Passed my test eight years ago, and it was my only form of transport. I can say I've only had one truly scary, oh shit moment were a young girl in a fiesta almost took me out. "Touch wood" Never had a collision with another vehicle. Come off trying to ride in snow twice. I really don't consider it anymore dangerous than driving a car.

found a keeyway 125cc krs and for most people it looks like a mini bike but for me at 5ft 3 its perfect i get mine this week! , been on scooters before then and then bought a secondhand venom but i was scammed and lost a big chunk of money in parts and stuff but its all good now i guess getting mine from a dealer now been cycling to work 9 miles a day up hills no thanks

What bike is that? I'm about to take the bike journey at 50... had very high performance cars my whole life, so I'm already calm... but I must have a vehicle capable of the highest performance. Even my daily car has over 300bhp. And cars are awesome by the way. But I've always admired bikes... inparticular, the VFR800. I love the looks, I REALLY love the noise - ever since one drove by me at Le Mans.

ive had my kick up the butt... I'm doing my cbt tomorrow...

I think I found my bike am hoping to get it later this year along with my CBT am hoping that I won't need anymore therapists when I get my future baby ☺️. By the way bikes are also cleaner for the planet than cars are they give off less emissions so I believe ✌️.

Spicy, I’m thinking of getting on two wheels and am currently saving for the bike, gear and CBT. I’m looking at the Lexmoto LXR 125 I’ve watched your review, do you think this would be a good starting point?

A few days ago someone asked me, that do i have fear when i ride my bike: I sad no, but i showed the brand new car what i ride when i work, and i said: That thing is freaking me out. The steering is like turning a potentiometer, breaking is like stepping a sponge, acceleration is just like incidental...there is no feedback for anithing, that is dangerous.

I don’t know if this will help in your decision but I was a very experienced cyclist when I did my CBT, road and mountain bikes, fixed gear etc. When I first got on a 125 and twisted the throttle that all went out the window. Felt completely different, the prior experience made no difference imo.

Depends where you go. Usually, they'll say no as if you fall off; it provides no protection. Lots of paperwork they don't want to deal with.

This is what their email said - You must wear at least a pair of jeans and boot style trainers and a jacket with sleeves as we cannot provide these items. Bring your own helmet if you can or if you are using ours bring some antibacterial wipes, face mask and hand sanitizer and surgical gloves..

I’ve had both and enjoyed both of them, it’s hard to choose just one bike so ideally you need 2/3 bikes then can choose what you want to ride depending on your mood for the day, hard choice though so good luck 👍

Go and try them at a dealership. Even just sitting on one will tell you a lot. There's no reason to stick to one type. You can sell and try something different. I've got a scooter, a cruiser and a naked as a project. I've also had an r125 which was fun, but less comfortable for commuting for me. I'd also bear in mind how desirable a bike is for theives. Everyone should be free to have what they want, but at the moment living in London, I wouldn't go and spend a fortune on a bike.

Anything like that would be on my second channel a slice of spice. I have not for a long while but plan to do a video or two this summer.
